The Crib Quilt - Side "A"

Just a couple quick shots of the beginning of our own baby's crib quilt - let's call it side "A." I'll be piecing some blocks for side "B" which will make it reversible... no front or back per se. Quilting decisions are hard for me, obviously, so I like to keep my options open, and in this case, have two quilts in one. Nothing wrong with that, is there? Hmm...

Now - how to QUILT this yumminess is the real question. Pebbles, stippling... time will tell!If you have any suggestions - do tell! AND I need a NAME for this quilt - ideas? Anyone? Buehler... Buehler? Otherwise, it will probably remain "Baby's Crib Quilt." ~hehe~

I think maybe quilting in echos around the squares on the other side would be good. Another option would be squiggly lines on the horizontal. Not even straight, but a little off. It looks great so far : )

Wow! Love it! And you used all of my favorite designer's fabrics. I'm terrible at naming quilts, sorry. Lately I have really been drawn to graphic straight line quilting. Some parallel lines varying widths apart, you can have them go horizontal and up and down, or at angles to each other. Some description huh? I did one quilt like this, I'll post it on my blog later today. ps I love all of your quilts!

Names are hard. My current quilt is the imaginatively titled "Baby Quilt 4" so I don't think I'll be much help! You could always have 2 names, one for side A and one for side B, if that makes it easier?!

Very nice! I am planning to make something just like this but to be used as a wall hanging in my family room. It's hard to say how to quilt it until I see the reverse side, or are you planning to quilt both the front and back seperate then attach with binding?

You could name it after the baby - or wait a while, and let the baby name it.As far as quilting, I wonder if it wouldn't look nice to do angled straight lines - that would work with the stacked rectangles and the squares, without making either side look like the "front".It's so pretty. I love Park Slope.

I love that quilt. It looks like one I had a pattern in my shop which was called Another Brick in the Wall but I guess that name is already being used. I like Stacked Plates too as was suggested by someone else. You've done an awesome job, I love your blog too! I'll be stopping by again soon.
